Özet:

Coffee, which entered our lives in the 1500s, has also included coffeehouses in our lives. In this context, a widespread cultural accumulation has occurred. Considering both cultural and spatial factors among beverages, there is no other example as popular as coffee. It is known that the popularity continues today. The study aims to examine the formation and development of coffee culture in the world and Turkey, along with the change in refreshments culture over time. In addition, it is aimed to investigate the importance of coffee, which has a deep-rooted place in our beverage culture, in incorporating cafe places into our lives and the density of cafe places. When the literature is examined, it has been seen that Konya has not been evaluated in this regard before. Thus, the need for research on the subject arises in the region. For this reason, the scope of the research consists of cafe places operating in the central districts of Konya. In this context, the density of cafes related to the placement and spread of cafe spaces in Meram, Selçuklu and Karatay districts of Konya province was examined by the field observation and the digital research method. The distribution of cafe spaces by region is shown with maps. From the 1500s to the present day, cafes continue to exist by becoming increasingly popular. The usage rates of these places have increased over time and spread to various regions. As a result of the research carried out in the central districts of Konya, it has been observed that the cafes are concentrated along the main axes of the central districts and in the shopping centers.
